“To truly follow Jesus, I must follow my hands to my keyboard.”
I scrawled these words in my journal so big and bold, the only words in months.
Until very recently, that’s all I’ve written–little profound sentences that call to me. Little snatches of ideas that God breathes my way.
I know I don’t need to explain how we can get winded running this race. Maybe you know exactly what I’m talking about because life has kicked the wind right out of you.
I’m learning how to catch my breath again, how to keep running because I’m desperate to truly follow Jesus.
It’s left me questioning how best to spend my days as a busy mom. I’ve spent the past year devoting all my time to homeschooling. I’ve snuggled and squeezed my babies, as if to stop sand sifting through an hourglass.
It never works though. Here’s proof. My baby starts Kindergarten this year.
I’ve missed this community, and it’s Jesus who calls me back here. He’s called me to write even when I lack vision or don’t want to make the time.
His love always resuscitates us, doesn’t it? Just this week, a fresh reminder of His love arrived on my doorstep in the form of a case of books sent from my publisher.
While I’ve been away from blogging, I’ve helped to write a few books for Worthy Publishing, and one of the books just released.
I love the concept for Just Breathe, and isn’t the cover just lovely? A big shout out to the cover designers at Ellie Claire. The colors and photo are so appealing, and the whole journal is printed in color!
It’s for the busy, worn-out people like you and me, who need a ten-minute break to just breathe. Drenched in the grace of God, these devotions will remind you of Jesus’ outstretched arms ready to embrace you.
Sometimes we forget His grace.
If you’re like me, you need more than a reminder of His grace–you need someone to put a permanent sticky note on your soul reading, I am His, and He will not cast me away.
Sometimes we forget, too, that God answers prayers and our deepest longings. As God gives us to dreams, and we must not forget that He’s in charge of fulfilling those dreams.
When these books arrived, it reminded me of just how faithful God is in the dream-fulfilling department.
If you’re in the middle of chasing down a dream, know that if God has called you to it, He’s at work behind the scenes.
On the pages Just Breathe you can unload what’s on your mind. So if you’re looking for ways to meditate on God’s truth, grab a copy. I love the half page left open for journaling. Blank journals can intimidate me, but this is the perfect amount of space.
If you need to make room to catch your breath, this book won’t disappoint in terms of a beautiful space to reflect, reminisce, and remember God. You can purchase it on Amazon.
If you buy a copy, would you be so kind to post a review? Reviews mean so much to authors.
Thank you so much for inviting me into your life. I pray you have the space you need to catch your breath and dwell with God.
